FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

[LuongTruong]

I am struggling with the React Native and aws-sdk. The reason I use aws-sdk instead of aws-amplify is because:

aws-amplify does not support Using a pre-signed URL to upload a file

My project is working fine until aws-sdk is installed by npm and aws-sdk-react-native is imported (this file is 4.3MB when aws-sdk version is "2.369.0").

After adding this line of code:

const AWS = require("aws-sdk/dist/aws-sdk-react-native");

The application crashes with the error message:

I try a lot of solution like:

increase-memory-limit

node --max-old-space-size=8192 index.js

If you tried these solution and it is work, please let me know. Maybe I did something wrong

If you have any suggestion, I am always willing to hear from you.

Thank you in advance!

@truongluong1314520 How did you solve this thing?? :/ This seems like a general error of some kind.

[LuongTruong]

Hi @nurely , sorry for replying you late. I have post the solution on this page

React-native max_old_space_size

[cglacet]

What the heck, I have a similar problem but I don't understand why would this program need 8GB of ram to process a 4MB file?

[timkuilman]

Same issue but only after upgrading to the latest RN version and only when archieving my app.

[mikeRChambers610]

^^ Me too. Going from SDK 27 to 33... Of course it cant be smooth.

[starfall-9000]

for anyone bundle images in terminal by using react-native bundle command

node --expose-gc --max_old_space_size=8192 ./node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js bundle --entry-file='index.js' --bundle-output='./ios/main.jsbundle' --dev=false --platform='ios' --assets-dest='./ios'

Thank you for the solution. I tried the solution and that worked but now I am again facing this with creating debug build.

Hi @aashu700 , sorry for the late reply. As far as I know, for debug, instead of using the started Nodejs server, you should shut it down and start a new one by using this command:

node --max-old-space-size=8192 node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start

You can change the number "8192" to the higher number, but make sure you have enough RAM. Hope it can help
